Summary

In this moment, New York Times best-selling author and researcher, Dr Joe Dispenza discusses how to change habits. A habit forms when you’ve done something so many times that it becomes hardwired into your subconscious, and is even programmed into the very nerve cells of your brain. So in order to break a habit, you have to break the bigger habit of being yourself. Dr Dispenza says that this change can happen when we become conscious of our unconscious. This awareness can come from meditation, as well as mentally rehearsing changes we want to make, so that we avoid the trap of unconsciously making the same choices everyday. By mentally rehearsing scenarios, this avoids the uncomfortableness that comes from taking a step into the unknown and stops you from being the creator of your life.

The hardest part about change is not making the same choice as you did the day

0:09.1

before and the moment you decide to make a different choice, you're going to feel uncomfortable.

0:15.0

Probably for most of my listeners who've heard great advice on this podcast and they think,

0:20.0

yes, that's who I want to be. I have an intention to stop eating sugar at 1 a.m. at night or I have an

0:25.4

intention to become organized or to be this kind of friend or partner. They have the

0:30.0

information. Right. There's something stood in the way of me doing something about that

0:34.3

information on a regular basis. Yeah. Habit is when you've done something so many

0:38.2

times that your body now knows how to do it better than your conscious mind, then it's programmed

0:44.1

subconsciously. So then when the body knows how to do it better than the conscious

0:48.8

mind, then for the most part the greatest habit we have to break is the habit of being ourselves, right?

0:54.0

So there's a principle of neuroscience that says that nerve cells that fire together wire together.

1:00.2

If you keep thinking the same way, if you keep making the same choices, if you keep doing the same things,

1:06.6

if you keep reproducing the same experiences and feeling the same emotions,

1:11.6

your biology begins to become hardwired in a sense. It becomes

1:17.3

programmed. So in order to change something to arrive at a new vision of your future. If you wanted to arrive at a new goal or new vision of your future,

1:29.0

you'd have to change something about yourself in order to get there.

1:32.0

And you'd have to change the way you think,

1:34.8

the way you act, and the way you feel. So to change then is to become so conscious that you don't

How much practice?
